Abstract:

This paper aims to present some perspectives on mapping embouchure gestures of flute players and their use as control variables. For this purpose, we have analyzed several types of sensors, in terms of sensitivity, dimension, accuracy and price, which can be used to implement a system capable of mapping embouchure parameters such as air jet velocity and air jet direction. Finally, we describe the implementation of a sensor system used to map embouchure gestures of a classical Boehm flute.
